Lake Louise
Canada’s largest single ski area, Lake Louise offers 4 mountain faces, 1,700 skiable hectares (4,200a), 136 named trails and the recently-installed 6 person gondola, this resort offers endless possibilities.
From gentle rolling green runs to double black diamond runs rated “the best super steeps in the country” by Ski Canada Magazine, Lake Louise caters to everyone from first timers to experts looking for a challenge. Everyone will be able to explore the area with green, blue and black run options from every chair.

Lake Louise is located 185 kilometres (115 miles) from Calgary by road – a 2 hour drive, and 60 kilometres (36 miles) from the town of Banff. The closest airport to the resort is Calgary International.
With the largest snowmaking system in Canada, a season stretching from early November to mid May, huge open bowls, some of the driest and lightest snow in North America and four on-mountain lodges, it is easy to see why Lake Louise was awarded Gold Medals from Ski Magazine in the categories of Scenery, Terrain, Challenge and Value.
And with a wide range of activities offered in the Banff/Lake Louise area, including dog sledding, horse-drawn sleigh rides, heli skiing, ice skating and hot springs, you will never be bored on a day off the slopes!
While Lake Louise doesn’t offer any ski-in/ski-out’ accommodation, staying in the Lake Louise village or nearby Banff means you can access 3 world-class resorts from the same base: Ski Norquay, Lake Louise and Sunshine Valley.
In fact, purchase a Tri-Area Lift Ticket and you can choose which of the ‘Big 3’ resorts you go to each day for the best weather and conditions, or have a lesson with the Big 3 Ski School and explore all 3 resorts while improving your skills and style.
